[0028] Operating principle and advantages: The culture is placed into the inner box 2, which is then placed into the outer box 1. At this time, the two buffer plates 4 and the two air cushions 3 clamp and fix the inner box 2. When the culture box is subjected to vibration, the outer box 1 protects the inner box 2. After the buffer plate 4 is subjected to force, it pushes the fixing block 71, which in turn pushes the balance bar 72. The balance bar 72 pushes the moving block 73, causing the slide 742 to slide on the fixing seat 741. The slide 742 slides stably on the sliding rod 744, preventing deviation. The slide 742 pushes the internal first return spring 743, which can absorb the vibration. The impact force is reduced, keeping the buffer plate 4 balanced. At the same time, the shock-absorbing spring 5 and the damper 6 are pushed, effectively reducing the transmission of impact force from external impact to the inner box 2, reducing the risk of damage to the internal culture, protecting the integrity and stability of the sample, and promoting the growth of the culture. When it is necessary to remove the inner box 2, the handle 8 is moved upward. The lower side of the handle 8 is connected to the locking block 102 in the limiting frame 9. The locking block 102 is fixed to the locking hole 101 by the second return spring 104. At this time, the handle 8 extends out of the inner box 2, making it convenient for the experimenter to move the inner box 2 outward and remove it.
